Layton is thrilled about the idea for a festival based around food trucks, and he said he’ll be glad to be there.

Live music will be by the Johnson Brothers, a five-piece country and classic rock act from Abbotsford. There will be a beer garden on-site as well.

The Food Truck events in Vancouver and New West later this summer again, are always a huge draw, said Jason Layton.

“We were at Celtic Fest and had a blast,” he said.

Layton built his Poomba’s pulled pork truck and smoker to be mobile, and enjoys doling out tender pulled-pork sandwiches and sliders, with his homemade Carolina style barbecue sauce, and a side of homemade cole slaw.

“It’s more tangy than sweet since it’s a vinegar based sauce,” he offers.

Poomba’s will be at the Chilliwack Air Show and Party in the Park, as well as the Classic Car Show.

“I go wherever I can, but Chilliwack events get first priority with me since that’s my hometown.”

From everyone he’s chatted with, they want access to more food trucks.

“It’s a great way for folks to try out some different food.”

At the festival, confirmed trucks include Big Red Poutine, Slavic Rolls, Fidjian Fusion, The Place Next Door, and Wilkyz Grill.

“Quite a few of the vendors have been talking about the Chilliwack event and numerous food truck guys asked me about it since it’s a first time event.”
